This is about how public health strategies are built around trust, not just protocol. Denmark’s system is designed to work with existing infrastructure—like strong prenatal care and early screening—so they don’t need a universal birth dose. It’s not that they don’t care, it’s that their approach is optimized for their own system. The US has different barriers, different access points, different cultural expectations. You can’t just copy a protocol and expect it to work the same way. It’s not about risk vs. resource, it’s about how the whole thing is set up to function.
